It could be scald between the toes. This wet weather causes it. A
shot of penn will help with the soreness in about 24 hrs. Nancy

Tom,
Check his hoof...are there an breaks or tears?? How about between
his toes?? Sometimes mud gets packed in there and blocks the glands
in between toes.
If his legs structures are ok...maybe he just pulled muscles or
tendons??
Let us know if you figure it out.

My Ram came up lame a couple of weeks ago. He is not putting any
weight on
his left rear hoof. I have manipulated all the joints and muscles,
and
nothing seems to cause him any pain. Otherwise, he is young and
healthy,
and eats well. Any Ideas?

Whenever I have foot problems I start a Vitamin H suplement. It helps
hoofs to harden. wet weather causes a lot of soft hooves and lack of
H. Clovite has H in it.
